Billy Cobham biography

On May 16, 1944, in Panama, one of the world’s most influential drummers, best known for his jazz fusion in the 1970s, Mahavishnu Orchestra, where he pioneered a powerful style of drumming with jazz, rock and funk influences, was born, named Billy Cobham. He has been sampled, most famously by Massive Attack in their tune “Safe from Harm”, centered on the beat and bassline of Cobham’s “Stratus”, from his debut album Spectrum, as well as on Souls of Mischief’s “93 Til Infinity” from the song “Heather” on his album “Crosswinds.”
